Didn't Carl Weathers die?
Only in Rocky IV.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And in Predator.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
ita is always wrong. Gus is always right. If you are a new Buffista, you should always recall these salient facts.

Our wings are not tired.
Cleaning out my trash I see that Thunderbird has decided that a message with the subject "Date Single Christians" is junk. Ya think?
Time for me to say g'night. I'm going to crawl in bed with a book as it has been a long day.

You know. I make the jokes. Some of them fall flat.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I can't imagine the sort of mud that stays cool while you're wering two mm of it.
I fan-wanked it to be that the mud is cool at first, and it also provides some cooling due to evaporation. So maybe he's invisible to Predator for a few minutes.
I can't believe I fan-wanked Predator.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wearing mud makes you feel cool, in my brief experience...
Also, I totally did a flammability science fair project! It was AWESOME -- I got to play in the basement with a blow torch and baby clothes. Sweet.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I'd be freaking out if I ran into a 14 year old that couldn't read.
Not least because an illiterate 14 year old will have a much harder time learning to read than an illiterate person of younger age. The reason you go to school at a tender age is so that civilization can print all its little keys into your tender soap-bar. There's also the part where it's got to be pretty humiliating, trying to learn to read as an adult and realizing that second graders might have more mastery than you.
I just finished So Yesterday, a novel by Scott Westerfeld about branding and cool-hunting. It was a pile of cockamamie -- it relied on the assumption that seeking cool is a universal experience -- but it was an entertaining pile of cockamamie. I think after reading it a lot of teenagers (it is YA) would be suddenly ripping holes in their logoed shirts in hopes of being so anti-cool that they become cool again. It is a whole big cycle of cool, which anybody who has seen me in toe socks will attest tends to fly over my head.

I've worn a mud mask. Hooey, I say, pure hooey.
Jesse, I think that Jilli is jealous of you.
"I ain't got time to bleed."
But he had time to die. He needs to prioritise.
Apparently, someone corrected my spelling on another board. Apparently it's prioritize. Who knew?

As well she should be, really.
